Vanson Rock and RollVanson Rock and RollThis is the leather jacket made famous by the legendary punk rock lead singer Joey Ramone, and can be seen immortalized in the Rock and Roll Museum in Cleveland, OH.

Vanson Rock and RollThe Vanson Rock & Roll leather jacket is explicitly derived from the British Rockers, Cafe Racers scene of the early '60s. The '60s in England were a time defined by rebellion and creativity. The Mods and Rockers fought each other all around the South Coast of England. Pirate radio ships starting with Radio Veronica off the Dutch coast, then Radio Caroline and Radio London off the English coast were all symptoms of the restless boomer generation. Along with, and maybe because of, the offshore radio stations came The Beatles, the Stones, the Kinks, the Byrds, and so many others building a wave of popular culture that would wash over the Americas as "The British Invasion ". The Ace Cafe, BSAs, Nortons, Triumphs, Dresda, Dunstall, all were markers in the world of the Rocker. This very cool dynamic, rebellious energy is reflected in the Rock & Roll Jacket.

The vintage version featured twin-track zippers and sewn-in half belts for a snug, wind-tight fit, and relied on authentic '60s technology - heavy sweaters and "dead air space" for insulation, with an adjustable tight fit to "keep things in place" while the bikes rattled and shook. Vanson enhancements to our version include a large, stiffened lower-back kidney panel and full-length action back to make this jacket optimally functional. Timeless period features such as the leather-lined ignition key pocket on the left sleeve and a leather lined concealed carry gun pocket built in to the inside facing, this pocket can be ordered for either right or left hand draw. All this makes the Vanson Rock & Roll leather jacket a classic favorite of riders and rockers alike. A rugged look with durable details and hand-built craftsmanship that can only be a Vanson. American made to last a lifetime - and beyond (R.I.P., Joey).
